Howdy!
I flashed a 155W TDP VBOIS on my MSI G66 Stealth 3080 16GB and ever since, Displayport over Thunderbolt 3 "DisplayPort over Alt Mode" has stopped working.
I've tried multiple USB to Displayport dongles, multiple cables, and multiple monitors. It just doesn't work, even after a clean reinstall of Windows 10. I've also tried flashing the original VBIOS with no luck.
I'm loving the performance, I'm getting 20%+ higher framerates and after a repaste, the tempatures of the CPU and GPU are very nice. There's no doubt in my mind that this laptop can handle the 155W TDP, even the power delivery and MOSFETs are actively cooled by the heatsink. The adapter is 230W and GPUz is showing that I'm being limited by "pwr" which I'm assuming is the power brick, or power delivery.
However, I'm stuck at 60hz refresh on my ultrawide now with an HDMI cable. MSI doesn't offer another 3070/3080 laptop with Thunderbolt 3 with DisplayPort over Alt Mode, but I would be happy to try a VBOIS from a 3080 that does.
Sadly, my original VBIOS backup got deleted after updating the BIOS, the RAID array gets corrupted and a clean reinstall is required if using a NVME RAID 0 array every single time. Could someone share a backup of their G66 3080 VBOIS, or maybe I'm missing something? I would have thought that the factory VBIOS from MSI's website would have fixed it.
